Ji Ruhuan propped her head, fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she looked up at Mother Qiu, "You go and help me inquire about what happened to Aunt Yun and Ji Feiyan recently." ”

Qiu's mother responded, but she didn't rush out, but looked at Ji Ruhuan with some hesitation, as if she was a little difficult to speak.

Ji Ruhuan looked at Mother Qiu like this, and responded with a smile, "Mother Qiu, I know that you are for my good, and I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you are the person next to me, as long as you know what to do in the future." ”

Mother Qiu's eyes were red, and Shi Li responded, "Thank you Miss for not blaming the slave." ”

After a while, Qiu's mother came back, but the news she brought back made Ji Ruhuan a little shocked.

I heard Qiu's mother speak, "I heard that it was the general who personally ordered Aunt Yun and the second miss to be sent to the family temple together, only to say that now that the house is eventful, Aunt Yun invited herself to take the second lady to the family temple to practice and pray for the Ji family, but the sending is very secret, most people in the house don't know, and our side has been tied by Yu Wei's hands and feet, so I haven't heard any news." ”

Ji Ruhuan muttered, "Sure enough, it has nothing to do with them, but why does this Aunt Yun have such great ability? This assassin matter, I'm afraid that Aunt Yun can't plan it, either she has helpers behind the scenes, or she is being used." ”

Mother Qiu's curiosity had already been aroused, and she said with a puzzled expression, "Then Steward Xu must have been instructed by Aunt Yun, but Aunt Yun's mother and daughter were all sent to the family temple, why is Steward Xu still safe and sound?"

Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, "Could it be that Steward Xu is really my father's cronies?"

Qiu's mother said, "Could it be that Wan'er's girl is lying?"

Ji Ruhuan shook her head, "She cherishes her life and doesn't dare to lie to me." By the way, what's happened to Wan'er's side lately?"

Qiu's mother responded, "I have been working in the outer courtyard, I haven't gone out, and no one has come to look for her." ”

Ji Ruhuan said, "Continue to send people to watch, Yuwei has withdrawn, maybe someone should come to her." ”

After speaking, Ji Ruhuan sighed again, "This Xu Steward is really mysterious, it seems that I can only wait for Xiao Jin to come back, can I bring some useful news." ”

Xiao Jinzi came back when he was in the evening, and reported to Ji Ruhuan to inquire about the situation when he came back, "The family of the housekeeper Xu lives in the alley of the outer city, and there is an elderly mother at home, and his wife has also visited, and she is in the same alley, and has a son and a daughter." ”

Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, "Have you ever asked when Steward Xu's family lived in that alley?"

Xiao Jinzi replied, "The little one inquired, and he has always lived in the alley of the alley." ”

Ji Ruhuan was silent for a while before he spoke, "I've worked hard for you, let's go down and rest first." ”

Xiao Jinzi stepped back, and Mother Qiu, who was waiting on the side, said, "Maybe this matter really has nothing to do with Steward Xu?"

As soon as Qiu's mother finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Qingju outside said loudly, "Miss, the red apricot next to the old lady came over, saying that the old lady asked the young lady to come over." ”

Ji Ruhuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Grandmother wants to see me at this time?"

Grandmother sent someone to invite, I can't help but go, Ji Ruhuan cleaned up, and followed Hongxing out of the door.

After a salute, Mrs. Ji lovingly took Ji Ruhuan's hand and said, "Because of the previous assassination, no one in our house dared to go out, and now the assassination incident has finally come to light, just today I received an invitation from the eldest princess, and tomorrow Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will hold a winter plum banquet, so you will go out for a walk with your grandmother." ”

Ji Ruhuan raised her eyebrows slightly, holding a winter plum banquet at this time? Or just when the assassination incident came to an end? Why did she think it was a bit coincidental?

And it's the eldest princess's mansion, I always feel that it won't be a good thing, Ji Ruhuan really doesn't want to go, so she answers, "Grandmother, Huan'er still wants to stay at home." ”

Old Madam Ji sighed, "You child, you should go out for a walk with your grandmother, okay?"

Ji Ruhuan was very helpless, so she had to nod.

Old Madam Ji happily pulled Ji Ruhuan and talked for a while, a little tired, before letting Ji Ruhuan leave.

When I got up early the next morning, the weather was gloomy, and thinking that I would go to the eldest princess's mansion with my grandmother for a while, Ji Ruhuan couldn't help but feel, "Today is really not a good day." ”

On the carriage, Mrs. Ji was full of interest, and instructed Ji Ruhuan, "You have a lot of sisters who went out to make friends with before, and I think many of them will go today, and you have to look at each other for your second brother at the banquet for a while, and see if there is a good girl worthy of your second brother." ”

Ji Ruhuan looked at her grandmother in surprise, "Second brother is going to see each other?"

Old Madam Ji responded, "If it hadn't been in Yingtian Academy, it would have been settled a long time ago, yesterday your uncle wrote a letter, saying that your brother in the hall has added a big fat boy to his knees, but he is the same age as your second brother, and everyone has both children and daughters." ”

Ji Ruhuan was also a little happy in her heart, and responded, "It's time to take a good look at each other and find a sister-in-law earlier." ”

I remember that when the second brother got married in his previous life, he had already left the Ji family and had no chance to participate, but I often heard people say that the second sister-in-law was like a shrew in the market, and the Ji family's house was restless.

In the end, the second brother couldn't stand it, and he didn't want to return home, and often lingered in the flower street and willow lane, leaving a bad reputation of being lustful.

At that time, he was instigated by the four princes and others, and only regarded the Ji family as his enemy, and he was angry and anxious about the Ji family, and he only felt gloating.

Now it seems that this family affair is probably handled by Aunt Yun, and it is not a good family affair to do it deliberately.

Now that Aunt Yun has been sent to the family temple, without her tossing, presumably everything will be different, and she must take a good look at each other for her second brother, and find a gentle and virtuous wife for her second brother.

Thinking about it like this, I felt a lot better when I went to the banquet.

When he went to the eldest princess's mansion, seeing that there were not many female relatives attending the banquet, Ji Ruhuan was even more suspicious, was this banquet held temporarily?

As soon as the affairs in the mansion stopped, they received an invitation from the eldest princess's mansion, such a coincidental thing, is it really aimed at them, and what is its purpose?

The eldest princess's mansion does have a plum garden, and the banquet is also held in the plum garden, but at this time, there is no plum garden to appreciate at all, plus the gloomy weather, there is really nothing to see.

Ji Ruhuan followed behind Mrs. Ji, greeted several ladies one by one, and then sat down under the hospitality of the princess's subordinates.

Looking at only a few official ladies and ladies who were not very familiar with each other and had a low family background, Mrs. Ji was not very satisfied, and the original high interest gradually faded, and as for the matter of showing the girl to her grandson, she didn't mention it again.

After a while, the eldest princess came to the plum garden with a group of people, and everyone stood up to greet them.

This eldest princess is over forty years old, but she is very well maintained, she looks no more than in her early thirties, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a generous and decent smile on her face, and beckons everyone, "Everyone, please take a seat, no need to be polite." ”

Ji Ruhuan sat down behind Old Madam Ji and looked up at the eldest princess and her party.

When she saw a few young women following the eldest princess, Ji Ruhuan chuckled in her heart, and a bad premonition hit her heart.
